Installing and Removing Inserts and Sample Cups
An insert changes the size of the sample chamber and, therefore, requires its own sample cup.
All inserts are shipped with appropriate cups, with the exception of the 0.1-cm
3
insert for the
1-cm
3
unit. Because of its size, the sample cup for the 0.1-cm
3
insert is built-in. The appear-
ance of the inserts and cups varies; this example shows a 10-cm
3
cup and insert.
The inserts for the 2000 cm
3
systems are installed and removed with a special tool.
Wear latex gloves when handling inserts and sample cups. Oils from your skin may
contaminate the surface and affect analysis results. Refer to Handling System
Components in Chapter 2 for recommendations on handling system components.
